At the end of The Amazing Spider-Man film, after Dr. Connors is arrested and confined to his asylum cell, he's visited by a mysterious man whose face is never shown and whose name is never given. How the man is able to enter or exit the cell with no one else noticing could be anyone's guess. Dr. Connors does not seem surprised that the man is there.
The man asks Dr. Connors if he told "the boy" the truth about his father. By "the boy," Dr. Connors knows the man means Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and he answers that no, he didn't tell Peter the truth about his late father, Richard. The man then laughs maniacally, says that's a good thing, and leaves. Just as he's leaving, Dr. Connors angrily warns the man to leave Peter alone.
This scene, which we see only during the ending credits, shows that (at least in his human form anyway) Dr. Connors still cares for Peter – and clearly he's not the only one to know something about Peter's father that he's not sharing with him.

One thing I only recently found out, via information on youtube as well as deleted scenes from the movie, was the fact that, as Dr. Connors pointed out to Peter earlier in the film, it was hard to say what the negative effects of cross-species genetics were because no humans subjects had survived it – that is, until Peter was bitten by that spider at Oscorp. And not just any spider – a spider identical to the one he'd seen encased in his father's office the night his parents disappeared. Peter was the very first human to survive cross-species genetics. Dr. Connors was the second, but his case ended disastrously, whereas Peter's certainly didn't. So, with all this in mind, it leads us to wonder: Just how much does Dr. Connors know about Peter's father, Richard, and his research? Moreover, who exactly is the man in the shadows, what does he know, and why doesn't he want Peter to know? And, perhaps most importantly, was Peter's being bitten by the spider nothing more than an accident? Apparently not. And this, of course, only leads to even more questions still. All we – and Peter himself – can do is wait until the sequels are released.
